STCU plans to open its new Pasco branch at Road 68 and Sandifur Parkway soon.

The Pasco branch is the third Tri-City branch for STCU. Its Southridge Financial and Home Loan Center opened in Kennewick in late 2018, followed in early 2019 by the Queensgate branch.

STCU membership is open to anyone who lives, works, attends school or worships in Washington and north Idaho.

G2 Construction of Kennewick was the general contractor for the 4,600-square-foot branch, which occupies a 1 1/2-acre Pasco site at 5677 Road 68.

The financial center features a drive-thru and 24-hour ATMs. Designed by ALSC Architects of Spokane, which also designed the credit union’s Southridge location, the Pasco facility has water-efficient xeriscape landscaping.

Benton City native Yubrahan Mendoza is branch manager at Pasco. Assistant manager is Laura Vieyra, who was raised in Pasco.
